TASTING NOTES

NOSE Silky smooth and honeyed on the nose with mellow oaky tones and hints of candied orange peel.

Taste
It's very warm and immediately I recognize something plastic (in a good way that is), warm plastic? lemon zest, honey, citrus, grape fruit, syrup, floral notes and toast again. The complexity is again amazing and the balance out of the ordinary.

Finish
The finish is long and lingering with recurrent peaks of cracked black pepper, organic plastic and brown sugar.

Comments
Wow, this is a hallelujah moment. This is what complexity is all about. Delivering flavors in peak after peak with such distinction. I am truly amazed!
